Hello, Authors.

It's similar to the game you play as a fic author, the game of giving fic to the desperate. I think we can agree that your situation is desperate, so I'm going to offer you a chance to write even more shit... this time with some sick-ass motherfuckin art.

I’ve thoroughly counted and with my powerful deduction skills I reckon we should have at least 30 pieces of art to offer you.

Below you will find two links. The first link will lead you to the rules & schedule, the second to the sign up form. (And you really want to sign up for this because if you don’t, well… idk. Fomo, or whatever.)

It’s simple.

Allow me to demonstrate:

You sign up. You see the claims gallery in May. Your mind is blown. You get a partner, a new friend if you will. And you’re trapped in my discord server forever and I won’t have to hook you up to this device in my basement.

You have until May 1st. 🩸

Summary:

Sam, Dean, and Castiel are investigating a series of missing kids in Florida. It doesn’t seem like one of their kind of cases, but one of the missing children’s sister said that Billy walked into a magical waterfall and never came back, and Dean isn’t going to risk that this ‘waterfall’ isn’t an interdimensional rift. When Team Free Will go through the rift, however, they realize that it’s not Purgatory, or Heaven or Hell: it’s much, much worse.

Meanwhile, SG-1 are on a mission to P7X-774 to investigate why the local population appears to know about the United States of America when there is no record of anyone from Earth visiting the planet before. Expecting it to be a goa’uld trap, Col. Jack O’Neill, Maj. Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal’c are surprised to instead find three men wearing Earth-style clothing and speaking English waiting for them in the local village.

But magical waterfalls and unexpected finds don't explain why the villagers are terrified to go outside when the sun goes down…

I know nothing about "Highlander" except that Queen wrote a song for it, but I'm intrigued!

Summary: When the boys find a case and they’re having trouble identifying the monster, Cas offers to ask an old friend of his. Emphasis on the old. As in five thousand years old. Said old friend is wary of Cas’ new friends Sam and Dean, but upon learning their names, he suggests they meet up, as he is bringing a friend too, who might know more about the creature.

Summary:

Cas is back from the Empty, and things are fine. Dean told Cas he loved him too, but also that he doesn’t want to be more than friends. (Which is a lie, but seems like the safer choice if he wants to keep Cas for the long haul this time.)

Since things are completely fine, it shouldn’t be an issue for Dean and Cas to investigate a mysterious death together. There’s just one problem: in the course of their investigation, they meet a woman who can tell truth from lies every single time. Will the woman’s apparently impeccable “bullshit detector” pick up on what Dean really wants? And will Dean and Cas be able to find the monster before it kills again?

I was tagged by @krexhatespushups-blog to post the first sentence of twenty fics to see if there is a pattern to my writing, so let's go!

The Bunker's garage door rumbled shut, and Castiel let out a sigh of relief. (Like a Prayer)

Dean's twenty-first birthday fell on a Saturday. (Turning Twenty-One) It was supposed to be a milk run. (A Stitch In Time Saves Nine)

"Whatcha watching, Cas?" (Flash is Fast, Flash is Cool)

Zzzzzzzz. (Heaven is a Place on Earth)

Once upon a time, in a faith-forgotten land, angels walked among men. (Promised To Another)

Darkness surrounded Castiel. (Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy)

She stood in the middle of the sidewalk and watched. (Bite No Bit and Drink No Drop)

It was Eileen who brought the advent calendar into the Bunker. (The Advent Calendar)

“Oh, come on! You don’t trust yourself?” (The Secrets That We Keep)

Castiel sat on the rock ledge with his back pressed against the cliff face and tried to calm his racing heart. (The Rescue)

Dean Winchester closed his eyes and let the music wash over him. (Maybe Next Time)

“Cas!” (Doctor, Doctor, Gimme The News)

“Samuel Henry Winchester.” (If I Must Go and Die at Twenty Seven)

Miguel bit back a yawn and picked up his cup. To his dismay, it was empty. He didn’t even remember finishing it. (LA's Bridge is Falling Down)

“Castiel?” (Mr. July)

Dean was finally asleep, and Mary Winchester sighed with relief. (What Happens in Wichita...)

“Dean!” (Dean Winchester's Diary)

“…and don’t forget folks, curfew is in place from seven p.m. so get home and lock those doors ‘cause there’s a bad moon rising!” (Bad Moon Rising)

He pressed the button and the elevator doors slid shut. (The Elevator Game)

Well, that was humbling. You don't realise how much you do something until you look at it all in a row like this. Apparently I favour either short, direct, action based narrative sentences, naming characters and/or jumping straight in with dialogue (which is also short).

I'm not going to tag anyone - you see this and want to see if your writing falls into any patterns? Go for it, and tag me (or reblog this post and do it) so I can see!

Writing Pattern Tag Game

I was tagged by @macy2me in the Writing Patterns Tag Game. Post the first line of 20 of your fics to see if there's a pattern.

1. He used to be mine

"Castiel opened his eyes."

2. Will you be my Valentine?

"Castiel was the most gorgeous man Dean Winchester had ever seen in his life."

3. The Memory of Love Always Remains

"Wrapped in the arms of the man he loved, Dean felt content."

4. The One You've Waited For

"Charlie Bradbury groaned in frustration as her phone buzzed on the small cafe table, and the screen lit up with a text notification."

5. Sincerely, Castiel Novak

"Castiel sighed as he put his head on his desk."

6. Angel Headphones

"Son of a bitch!" Dean exclaimed.

7. Everything I Possess

"At twenty-three, Rhonda Hurley had already had enough."

8. Rhythms, Rhymes, and Revelations.

"Jo watched her phone screen light up as the vibration echoed off the walls of her tiny apartment."

9. The Best Day Ever

"Charlie, I'm too old for this.” Castiel got up from his desk and began to pace around his home office.

10. Pictures of You

Rhonda smiled as she looked at the pictures on her computer screen.

As I expected, I either start my fics with an action or dialogue or both. Thanks @macy2me for tagging me. I'm tagging @cactusdragon517 @whaddyameanno and @motherofdragonflies . Play if you want to/have the time.

Whatever Makes You Happy

Author: Rex_Writes | Artist: Kit Shay

Posting on Sunday March 24

An aspiring songwriter, Dean Winchester spends his days in the local coffee shop, which just happens to be run by the most gorgeous man he has ever seen, Castiel Novak. This gorgeous man becomes his muse, songs flow out of Dean’s pen with the speed of a rushing river. Unfortunately, just like getting his songs heard, Castiel is just another thing Dean can’t have. He’s had his heart broken by a straight guy before and he can’t go through that again. Thankfully, Dean meets Lee Webb who is an amazing singer, AND he’s actually /interested/ in Dean. Will Dean stay with the man who’s a sure thing or will he risk everything for whatever makes him happy?

Keep reading for a sneak preview!

Dean took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart and steady his shaking fingers.

"Hey. You're gonna be great. They're gonna love you," Charlie said as she placed a reassuring hand on Dean’s shoulder.

"It's not them I'm worried about. It's him. What if he just thinks I'm some sort of…creep." Dean huffed softly and dropped his head to his chin. "This was a stupid idea, Charlie, I can't do this." Dean stood up from the stool he had been sitting on. "Charlie?" Charlie had disappeared, but Dean saw the curtains flutter close as he heard her voice over the speaker.

"Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, welcome to open mic night, or as I like to call it, Artist Validation Night. Our first performer is a little shy, so let's give a warm round of applause for Dean Winchester!"

The curtains on the mock stage in the coffee shop swooshed open and Dean was suddenly faced with too many familiar faces. He couldn't do this. This was too much, he didn't sing in front of people. Hell, Charlie wouldn't even know he could sing if she hadn't come home early one day and heard him while he was taking a shower.

But here he was. There was only one person he was singing to, but he forced himself not to look, instead focusing on finding the right chords.

You were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You look like an angel Your skin makes me cry

Dean closed his eyes as he sang. Piercing blue eyes flashed through his mind.

But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here

Dean knew that he missed notes, and his tone wasn’t perfect, but that's what happened when you put all your emotion into a song. His fingers deftly slid over the frets, playing the chords he knew by heart. Dean took a deep breath and finally lifted his eyes from his guitar during the next section, easily finding those blue eyes at the back of the room. He stared into those gorgeous blue eyes singing the next lines without looking away.

I want you to notice When I'm not around So fuckin' special I wish I was special

Dean broke the connection first by double checking he had the right finger placement for the upcoming bridge. He took a grounding breath and launched into the bridge.

Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special

Dean looked back up to meet the icy blue stare yet again, but he was gone. Fuck. He knew this was a shit idea. He knew Cas was straight. He was gonna kill Charlie.

Dean finished the song, finding a cruel truth in the last chorus.

But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here
